Cavan's Hydrotherapy Pool which is run by Enable Ireland has no clinical trained staff and remains closed as a result. That's according to Deputy Niamh Smyth who has called on the HSE to staff the facility so it can be accessed by children and adults with disabilities.
Speaking to the Wider View, Deputy Smyth says she knows an 8-year-old local child - with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis - whose family drive past the facility to travel to the Tallaght pool for her therapy - which is 106kms from Cavan town.
